Expertise

I can answer questions about what type of bedding is best for the animal, as well as what is the best living conditions and the minimum requirements that are needed to provide the animal with a happy and healthy lifestyle. I can also answer questions dealing with sickness and diseases.

Experience in the area

I worked at a Pet Store for over a year and was the Petcare Lead Specialist. I cared for the animals in the department as well as answered questions that customers had about the care of the animals as well as how to take care of the animals.

Education/Credentials

I am currently a pre-med student in New Orleans. I have also been a certified Petcare associate as well as the Petcare Lead of a large petstore.

What do you like about this subject?

I just like helping people and I love to learn about all animals.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I hope to achieve a greater knowledge of all rodents and help people with their questions.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

a rabbit isn't a rodent they are lagomorphs.
